Hi Aaron,

You're welcome! That is possible (see the "advanced" section of the full guide), but it would not be super secure if you're doing this on the open web. The reason for this is because the LRS would need to have "read" permissions turned on, which means that someone would be able to query all of your data if they were tech-savvy enough to do so.

If your content is already gated behind an LMS login, then it may be a tad safer to do so (since it would be your employees who get access to the code / credentials).

If I were to implement this today, I would use the xAPI Document APIs (which I just recently started using and do not have tutorials up for yet) or a simple database like Firebase Firestore (with Firebase Auth along with it to keep things secure).

Best of luck,
Devlin

    HI Devlin,

    Thanks for your response, it's great to know it can be done - I will do some testing as the LRS I am using is just for testing purposes so no real data but if it all works then I will look at testing it with our own LMS/LRS system in-house.

    Thanks again for all your help.

    Aaron
